Mild preclampsia

baby will be born at 37 weeks instead of my due date. Nervous and excited!

This is my 2nd (and last) pregnancy with it as well. I had it severely with my first abd he was born at 35wks. This time I have it mildly but feel so ill with it. My dr said he will deliver at 36wks unless I deteriorate before then. My body has already given in and I've gone into preterm labour 3 times but baby just isn't ready to be born yet. I'm really struggling this today, it is such a hard journey - wanting the best for your baby but wanting this to be over. I really commend anyone who has walked this path. I know I just can't go through this heartache again.

If preeclampsia gets severe they deliver your baby right then and there if your past 25 weeks

So if it gets worse do they keep u at the hospital or give u med

[kelllyxoxo]

Those are signs of it. The headache too

[mom_520]

Thanks the only thing I get are bad headaches that last 3 to 4 days that don't let me outta bed nd some times even keep food down then both wen I have a headache or feel normal I get really dizzy nd light sensitive is it worse wen they find it earlyer

Signs are swelling of feet or/and hands, high blood pressure, & dizziness but I only have slight swelling right now, & some protein in my urine so I have mild preclampsia

I did the 24 hour urine test which is where they give you a a big jug and you pee in it for 24 hours then take it to a lab or back to your doctor, this is my second pregnancy and I had preclampsia the first pregnancy, last time they caught it at 38 weeks and I was induced but I didn't  progress so I had a emergency c section. This time it will be a scheduled c section.

[mom_520]

I don't have either but my Dr said I'm at high risk is there any other tested they do

They test at every doctor visit your urine to check for protein. If they find protein in your urine it is am indicator of preeclampsia as well as Higher than normal blood pressure. Those two are the biggest indicators.
